«Fire» the prices of cigarettes: The package in Greece can reach 6,50 euros
Smokers in Greece are facing a dramatic increase in cigarette prices, with the package reaching from today's 4.80 euros to 6.50 euros, due to a new European tax framework. Greece is low in the European tax classification of tobacco products, with Greeks smoking on average over 18 cigarettes a day. The change will burden the average smoker with over 560 euros per year, raising the annual cost from 1,500 to 2,150 euros. At the same time, there is concern about strengthening the illegal trade in cigarettes.
